A pair of rigid frames having central openings are each covered with a pliable material which is forced in intimate contact with a fragile article to be packaged. Central openings allow passage of the fragile article which is suspended between the two pliable materials. Pliable material and friction limits the handling shock-type loads which may be transmitted to the fragile article in one direction, and cushions loads in other directions. Frames can be positioned within an enclosure package so that motion of the fragile article during handling can be tolerated. A single pair of pliable covered frames can serve as packing for a wide variety of solid materials, including multiple items or irregular shapes and heavy articles, with no further protection required.

In combination with a rigid shipping container or the like, a packing device for resiliently suspending an object inside said container which comprises: a first planar sheet of cardboard having a first opening; a first film of pliable material covering said first opening and being attached on all sides to said first sheet; a second planar sheet of cardboard having a second opening; a second film of pliable material covering said second opening and being attached on all sides to said second sheet; means for releasably securing said first and second sheets within said container in a generally parallel, spaced-apart and face-to-face alignment wherein each of said films is in pressing contact with opposite sides of said object sandwiched therebetween wherein the pliable films apply tension and friction to said object, and wherein said means for securing are shaped and positioned to apply equal forces to said sheets to immobilize said object between said films in the absence of any load being applied to said object other than gravity and in whatever position said container may rest and to limit, by tension and friction of the films applied to said object, the movement of said object within said container when said container is subject to impacts from various directions.
